Ann Bordetsky argues that momentum in the AI market is perishable — like holding a melting ice ball. Frontier labs must keep shipping new models, applied AI must maintain insane product velocity, and infra players must integrate up and down the stack to avoid commoditization. Durability, she claims, is a bit of a myth right now: what we perceive as durability in AI is really just exceptional execution compounding over time.
